If I picked the winners...

The first category is Best Supporting Actress and the decade is the 2000s. Just a personal note: I think the picks in this decade were very unfair, there were only 3 deserving winners out of the nine and I say the win of Cruz this year was tolerable. But apart from that? Very weak picks. So my picks for each year:2000: Marcia Gay Harden in Pollock2001: Helen Mirren in Gosford Park2002: Meryl Streep in Adaptation (hard to choose between her and Julianne) 2003: Shohreh Aghdashloo in House of Sand and Fog 2004: Virginia Madsen in Sideways2005: Rachel Weisz in The Constant Gardener (Michelle Williams was very close) 2006: Adriana Barrazza in Babel 2007: Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton2008: Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler[2009: Mo'Nique in Precious (I don't think that anyone can be better, but I wait)]

Let's stay with this decade and the category is Best Actor in a leading role. These winners were a tiny bit more deserving. But there were only 4 deserving winners and two of the actual recipients were really mediocore (Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington). So my picks are: 2000: Tom Hanks in Cast Away (I'm a big Hanks-hater, but I was certainly impressed)2001: Tom Wilkinson in In the Bedroom 2002: Adrien Brody in The Pianist 2003: Bill Murray in Lost in Translation2004: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator2005: Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote2006: Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland2007: Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood2008: Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler

So do you agree? Or don't you? Do you think that my picks are just awful and I can go to hell? Or do you think they are fair? P.S.: Will you forgive me for uploading the same picutre I did for the 2000 Smackdown? I just love Marcia so much. :-)
